This vacant development site on Dolly Lane offers a rare, consented scheme in close proximity to Leeds city centre. Full planning permission (granted 14 January 2022) covers a seven‑storey residential block with underground parking and landscaping, delivering 89 units across studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom flats — a ready-sized scheme for a mid‑rise urban build.
The plot extends to approximately 0.67 acres (0.27 hectares) and sits well connected to the motorway network and public transport links, with St James’s University Hospital nearby. The site’s scale and consent make it attractive to residential developers, build‑to‑rent investors or those considering alternative uses subject to re‑planning.
Buyers should note material local challenges: the area records very high crime and is classed as very deprived, broadband speeds are slow, and tenure is unknown. These factors will influence housing demand, management strategy and lender appetite and should be factored into due diligence and viability testing.
Overall, the opportunity is for a consented, city‑edge development plot with immediate scale and access advantages. It will particularly suit buyers experienced in urban regeneration and asset management who can mitigate local socio‑economic constraints and deliver the permitted residential scheme or appropriate alternatives.
